I can only say that people spend time on the things in which they are
interested.  Anil was interested in working on a CVS browser, so he
did.

I was one of the proponents of moving away for phplib to native PHP
sessions.  The phplib dependency was causing all sorts of installation
problems for new users, and by moving to PHP sessions, we were able to
remove a major step in our installation process.  It's also nice to be
using the "standard" session support in PHP.

Well, look at it this way: now that your Perl script can read PHP
session data, it will work with every PHP application that uses PHP's
native session support.

That hasn't happened in the two (+) years that I've been involved with
the Horde project, and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. =)
